Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of photodegradation and weathering on the water vapour sorption kinetic behaviour of scots pine earlywood and latewood
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of weathering or accelerated photodegradation on the water vapour sorption kinetics of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris ) has been studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aging of wood under long-term storage in a salt environment
TL;DR: Aging of archeological wood in a salt environment was assessed in Hallstatt, Upper Austria, where Bronze Age wooden findings of the archeological salt mining site were compared with recent wood samples from the same site as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategy for developing a future support system for the Vasa warship and evaluating its mechanical properties
TL;DR: In this article, a non-destructive methodology was proposed to predict the stiffness of Vasa oak in terms of moduli of elasticity in the three principal directions of timber at critical positions in the ship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectral characterization of the molecular wood decay in terms of age
TL;DR: In this paper, a new chronometric method for the dating of wood is presented, based on the chemical breakdown of specific parts, such as the acetyl groups of the hemicelluloses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion of D2O in archaeological wood measured by 1-D NMR profiles
M. B. Robertson,K. J. Packer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of well characterised plugs were sampled from different depths, reflecting different degrees of degradation and orientation with respect to the wood structure, of an oak timber from the Mary Rose.
